Money lenders ‘have created modern day slaves’
Perry don't wish for it. you are giving away our future and the one of our kids by begging the Chinese to give you money. You think this is free? Who is going to pay those interest rates? our kids that dont get a good education in exchange for it? You are aiming at the wrong target when you go after the banks. This is just a cheesy and cheap PR stunt to steer the banks into your uneconomic idea of a mortgage relief plan.

This new immigration requirement (tax) is immoral. It will disenfranchise the poorest of the poor and lead to a host of social ills. It makes me embarassed to be a Bahamian and I pray it is revoked as soon as possible. We are better than this as a people.

TalRussell, you, me, we authorized the Government to enter into various international agreements since independence. He can only do what we can. You can't authorize him to breach international agreements. World doesn't work that way.
We wanted independence, it comes at a price.

These young guys don't care AT ALL about the danger they put their family in. Most of the time the family members know that these young guys are animals. See what happens when parents don't beat the crap out of their useless (grand)children. Any young man who lives with his parents or grandparents needs to be investigated as there is a good chance that they are a bad seed looking for safety.

Clearly, you sir are an idiot. The "web shops" are already organized crime. Secondly they were started with money which was initially the proceeds of others crimes. Thirdly you are still an idiot. Finally his argument if it succeeds will bring the administration of justice into disrepute and usurp the rule of law (which the court would not allow to happen in any event) asbwell as the fact that it would be analogous to situations involving illegal drugs. As far as sheepish jackasses go you're the only one here and you're following the idiots who know nothing and have no respect for the law. Finally, you sir are an idiot.

Mr. Munroe already has argued against his point. He says that since the referendum that the number shops have reported a drop in sales and a drop in payouts. So clearly that is because that is because there are many who have chosen to err on the side of caution. So should it be assumed that if there was a firm law in place that those numbers would be closer to zero because the shop would have closed?
This is a scare tactic to talk about an increase in organized crime. I suppose we should legalize armed robbery, rape, and murder because those are increasing at an alarming rate as well, despite what Commissioner Greenslade tells us. Of course, there will be some stragglers to comply with the law, lock em up! Do patrols and lock up the bookie. The crowded her majesty's prison shall surely change their tune.
Just because someone is unemployed does not give them the right to commit crime without punishment.

This is already organized crime. Additionally some of the persons involved allegedly have connections to drugs and people smuggling. Money Laundering is already taking place. Persons involved in the webshop numbers business had opened other companies that they are using to set up bank accounts to deposit money derived from illegal gambling into the banks. According to Monroes theory we should also legalize Cocaine and Marajuana. These drugs are the root of much of the violence in our society. Monroe's argument is Stupid

After 40 years of political stupidity, failure and corruption it is high time for us to take our country back from twiddle dee and twiddle dum.
We should very seriously examine the Bermuda example as they had the same 40 year PLP & UBP corrupt stupidity.
Bermuda resolved the problem by forming a 3rd party "One Bermuda Alliance" (OBA) which won the government December 2012 and IMMEDIATELY made sweeping changes to the benefit of the majority, not just the usual chosen few friends, family and lovers.
See their platform and decide for yourself: http://www.oba.bm/index.php/our-plan

No bail granted so far this year for any murder-related case
A good step in the right direction. How about no bail for this group of killer criminals for the rest of the year? What about committing one of the courts to deal strictly with assisination type murders on a LIFO (last in first out) method where persons who commit these types of murders will go to trial within three months. This along with all the other initiatives will result in a tremendous reduction in murder by years end.

A LIFE OF CRIME: The first five years
Save your time and money the answer is quite simple. The breakdown of the family combined with other sociology-economical factors such as unemployment, underemployment, low wages and materialism are the main culprits. Children are not being raised with a good understanding of fundamental principles i.e the golden rule. Love your neighbor as yourself. the images on TV and other forms of social media are reinforcing the opposite the principles of YOLO, MOB, MOE which basically tell them get all you can by any means necessary no matter the cost you have to stand out by what you drive, wear and who you can be seen with. We are basically putting on expensive clothes, jewelry and phony relationships to cover up a lack of true moral character. Parents don't have the time to spend with children to teach them meaningful life skills and morals due to the fact that they have to work more to keep up appearances or feed a family on a single parent income. The fact that some of our children were just as likely to be swallowed at the time of conception should tell us a lot about ourselves and them. Why were they born? Was it because their parents were careless and irresponsible or was it because two came together in love to create a meaningful investment for society. Someone once said that babies are the new it accessory like handbags. Accessories become played out and tossed aside after a while. That's what most are doing to our children today. What we are seeing is the result of decades of neglect. We have to get back to the basics. The most important jobs most of us will have is not the ones we get paid for it the one we go home to after we get off from work. Raise your children responsibly and to those of you who conceived in a moment of pleasure rather than love you have to spend a lot more time than most to make sure that what might be perceived as a mistake doesn't turn out to indeed be a really big one.
